Skiing in Dennmark?

Has anyone here actually skied CopenHill? Curious if it’s worth a dedicated trip or better as a fun side adventure while visiting Copenhagen.

Full disclosure, I’ve not skied there or know anyone who has. But, looking at it - looks like a fun day trip when you’re in the area rather than a dedicated trip (to me, anyway). Hopefully there’s someone who can chime in with experience.

Haven't been to Copenhagen for a few decades. Had a couple short business trips there in the 1990s that included a day for sightseeing. I have skied on "carpet" outdoors in Virginia. Also checked out the Neveplast that existed in CT for a few years. Only watched people there. Buck Hill in MN also gave Neveplast a try around 2017 but didn't keep it going for assorted reasons. Both of those slopes were very short. Based on those experiences, I wouldn't plan a trip to Denmark because of the power plant rooftop adventure center that includes skiing on plastic. However, I probably would go there as part of a trip to Scandinavia during a warm month.

Having skied at Big SNOW in NJ a few times, I'd be more interested in checking out the indoor ski resorts in the Netherlands. Snow World is the partner of the group that started trying to build an indoor ski slope in VA back in 2019. The project in Fairfax seems unlikely to ever start construction.

Turns out that Tremblant has installed Neveplast in order to have skiing/snowboarding as a summer activity. It's open between mid-May and mid-October. The slope looks much longer than what was installed in CT.

Come across my old post that included a video of Copenhill when it was new. There are clips during construction, as well as clips of kids, racers, and others having a good time after completion.

I don't see myself going to Denmark or Tremblant anywhere in the near future, but I'd love to try skiing on this material. It seems like a lower-cost option to indoor snow venues, which must be pretty expensive to operate, even though I'm sure it's not as aesthetically-pleasing as skiing on real snow. I wonder why they make it green, instead of white?

I'll definitely keep an eye out for another of these venues appearing closer to me.
